Russ White - Tegneserierealisme

Russ White beskriver sin egen kunst som en tegneserierealisme som fungerer som en satire over kompliserte temaer. Motivet i hans bilder star alltid alene uten noe bakgrunnstøy. Om sin kunst sier han dette: ”In a national climate that is increasingly divisive, in which many people feel perfectly at ease with their own ignorance and indignation, I am interested in encouraging empathy, wonder, and reflection on our shared humanity, in all of our filth and glory.” Hans verk er en reaksjon på det moderne samfunns kompleksitet: Det er både morsomt og alvorlig, personlig og politisk, komisk og seriøst på samme tid.
